Welcome to the 2023 Pacific Northwest Pink Ribbon Row on September 17, 2023.

We have a new name (PNW Pink Ribbon Row) and a few other changes we’ll introduce over the next several months. However, we are proud to be a supporter of numerous foundations focused on a cure for over 20 years and counting. We look forward to your participation to raise funds for local breast cancer early detection and supporting people after treatment.

We are proudly partnering with Rowing Cares to host this event. In April of 2022, National Row for the Cure ended their alliance with the Komen Foundation and have rebranded as Rowing Cares. Our relationship with Rowing Cares is in good standing and we will continue to use their 501(c)3 status for our fundraising. This change means that we will now be able to keep 100% of what we raise in our local community. 

Our focus of commitment will be raising funds to help with early detection and support after diagnosis. We are partnering with five organizations in the PNW area who focus on early detection and support after a diagnosis.  

We are again offering the opportunity for clubs to earn the coveted Pink Erg and we will once again provide a free event shirt for EVERY rower that raises $150 or more!!

For everyone involved with our mission – it’s personal. Volunteers, sponsors, donors, and participants across the country have all been touched in some way by this deadly disease. Together, we can leave breast cancer in our wake."

Fundraising will again be through Classy.org

Fundraising has started on our Classy.org site. Set up your individual or team fundraising pages now. We're getting a great start towards our $150,000 goal. Individuals who raise $150 or more will receive our commemorative Pink Ribbon Row T-shirt.

For our SIXTH year running, we will award a Pink Ribbon Row collectors Concept II Pink erg to any junior team raising at least $8k or a masters team raising at least $10k. Start building your team and raising money! It’s for the best cause ever AND you get the bragging rights of the Pink Erg!

Regatta Headquarters

Regatta headquarters will again be at Gas Works Park. We'll be at the park starting at 5:30 until 12 pm. Stop by and support our Coffee and Food Vendors!! We will also celebrate the funds raised, name the Pink Ribbon Row costume contest winners, and award the pink ergs to the winning teams. Plan to join us after you finish your race.
